339 Battle of the Strings

Originally, Wu Daofu's plan had already determined that they would fight hard with the Japanese fleet this time, but at this time, they also wanted to break up the formation of the opponent's fleet and stay away from the shallow water area that was not suitable for the six Western-style warships.

Therefore, the other party did not find that most of Hongtang was chasing over, and it had little impact on Wu Daofu, in fact, their strategic intentions had already been achieved.

Of course, Wu Daofu and they still have unexpected gains, after all, this Japanese coalition army is a group of rabble, at this time can advance and retreat together, it seems that a whole is already a good way to lead the team of Huashan Jiugao, but if you really encounter this kind of emergency, or at an emergency moment, the quality of the soldiers who are uneven will be shown.

Wu Daofu and his six warships were already a few points faster, and at this time, the members of the Japanese fleet were in a hurry to return to the team, and as soon as everyone's scattered formation was torn apart, everyone could no longer care about maintaining a unified speed, or taking care of the ships behind them that had not yet returned.

This allowed Wu Daofu and them to find an opportunity, seize a group of five Japanese warships that fell at the end, and fight to the death, taking advantage of the speed advantage, the guns of the six warships almost opened fire next to the side of the opponent's ship.

The Dutch cannon, which was already extremely powerful, could hit an enemy ship even a blind man at such a distance, let alone these skilled gunners on the Hongtang warship.

For a while, sawdust flew on the sea, and the pirates on several pirate ships were also bombarded by the ferocious artillery fire, crying and screaming, and they were hideous.

The returning Japanese ships in front of them wanted to be rescued, but at this time, in front of them, more than 30 Hongtang warships were approaching violently, and in the end, they could only break their wrists, seeing that these five pirate ships targeted by Wu Daofu and them were devastated by artillery fire, and slowly disappeared into the sea.

Wu Daofu and the others did not spare their hands at this time, and the fierce artillery fire hit the vital point of the target ship, and the five target warships were sunk for a long time without two rounds of artillery fire, and the wreckage of the ship floated on the water.

He didn't care about cleaning up the battlefield anymore, capturing the sailors who were lucky enough to escape on the sea, freeing up the six main warships in the future, and continuing to follow the Japanese fleet to kill the past, helping most of Hong Tang to bear the pressure.

When Wu Daofu and the others hurried up time to exterminate the five backward warships, more than 30 Hongtang warships had already handed over to the Japanese fleet, and around most of the fighting, more than 20 self-exploding sailing ships that the Japanese had hidden for many days also set out, cruising to find an opportunity to approach the Hongtang warships, but most of them were stopped by the Ryukyu fishing boats and Hongtang fast boats that had been prepared for a long time.

The battle soon entered a white heat, as soon as it came up, in addition to seizing the opportunity at the beginning, after firing the shells from the left and right gun emplacements, the Hongtang fleet did not play any Western naval warfare methods, but played the pirates' usual string battle, which also made the Japanese self-blowing sailing ships a little less useful, after all, the warships of the two sides saw each other shirtless, tied together, you take a hair and move the whole body, it is inevitable that it will affect the friendly ship.

However, even without this powerful means, the Japanese fleet was not afraid, but Hong Tang took the initiative to start a chord battle with them and corrected their hearts.

Although they have lost a few warships in the past few days, the number of warships is still more than twice that of Hongtang's warships, so it is not at all worthwhile to fight the Japanese people head-on.

Before Hong Tang used the same number of warships to defeat more than 100 sea ships, the Japanese people were also quite unconvinced, who would have thought that Hong Tang was so rich, even their Japanese people could not get the artillery, they could be equipped on the warship in batches, and a warship was equipped with several, or even more than a dozen.

This caused the Japanese fleet to suffer great damage as soon as it engaged, and Wu Daofu and they used the contempt of the Japanese fleet to play a trick, dispersing this group of rabble that was temporarily gathered by Birch Mountain Hisada, and finally achieved the shameful battle of Birch Mountain Hisada.

But this time it's different, Kayama Hisataka is ashamed and brave, combined with the lessons learned from the last World War, this time Kayama Hisataka not only spent a lot of profits to open up the Amami Sea area to the surrounding pirates to trade, but he also promised a lot of gold and silver and officials to buy people's hearts, which is why there is today's Amami Goto. At the same time, he did not forget to take advantage of these two months to subdue a group of pirates who were loose and free and did not obey orders, so that they had the appearance of an army in just two months, and their combat power increased sharply.

What's more, the most confident hand-to-hand combat of the Japanese people was not shown in the previous battle, and this time the Japanese people were holding back their strength to let the soldiers of Hongtang see their level of close combat.

However, when the actual battle began, not only did the Japanese fail to surprise Hongtang with their hand-to-hand combat, but they themselves were frightened by the hand-to-hand combat level of Hongtang's warriors.

The Japanese people fight in close quarters, one is by their fierce and fearless bushido spirit, and the other is because their country is still martial, there are many kinds of sword skills and sword drawing techniques, etc., and they have been nurtured since childhood, so they are naturally much stronger than ordinary people, and the remaining one is that the Japanese people are really not bad in knife-making skills, and almost every Japanese people who have a little extra money can always buy a few extremely sharp Japanese knives in the Japanese country, and they also have an advantage in weapons.

This also contributed to the farce of the Ming Dynasty Jiajing period, and also made the Japanese people still think that they are unparalleled in close combat, but to be honest, in the real battlefield duel, the Japanese warriors are accustomed to single-handedly martial arts, and when facing thousands of opponents, they are not so effective.

Without the tacit understanding of many people's cooperation, and there was no discipline of advancing and retreating, as soon as the Japanese people engaged the Hongtang soldiers, the first wave of ferocious killings was easily intercepted by the Hongtang soldiers. Even several Japanese people who killed fiercely and were too aggressive, under the slashing and killing of several skillfully coordinated Hongtang warriors, they already had a few knife wounds on their bodies.

If it weren't for the fact that the Japanese had fewer sailors on a warship, they had a lot of room to maneuver, plus the martial arts they had cultivated since childhood, otherwise in this wave of battles, someone would have blood splattered on the spot.

Even so, under the siege of forty or fifty Japanese people or pirates on the left and right, a Hongtang warship not only did not have the problem of being left and right, but also pressed the other party's soldiers to fight, faintly having the upper hand.

On the edge of the sea area where they were engaged, Wu Daofu and his six warships did not impulsively participate in the battle, but wandered on the edge of each other's battle, while helping the Ryukyu fishing boats to clear those self-exploding ships, while looking for an opportunity, the most powerful weapons of the six warships, sharp artillery poured into the flawed Japanese warships, as long as the cannon fire sounded, it could always bring a chaotic situation of people turning over on their backs.
